Call for Papers: Agrekon Special Issue

Abstracts should be submitted to fabio.santeramo@unifg.it by 30 October, 2017.

Motivation and topics
The volume of non-tariff measures (NTMs) impacting on agricultural trade has increased
considerably during the last decades. In particular, a large volume of NTMs has been established (and has potential trade effects) between North-South and even between countries in the Global South. Understanding how NTMs influence agri-food trade has become a issue of utmost importance in the international debate and among scholars and policymakers. The special issue of Agrekon in 2017 will be dedicated to topics related to the relationship between agri-food trade and NTMs, with particular emphasis on how NTMs influence trade between African countries.
